1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The general transcription factor TFIID, which is composed of TATA-binding protein (TBP) and an array of TBP-associated factors (TAFs), has been shown to play a crucial role in recognition of the core promoters of eukaryotic genes. We isolated Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast TAF145 (yTAF145) temperature-sensitive mutants in which transcription of a specific subset of genes was impaired at restrictive temperatures. The set of genes affected in these mutants overlapped with but was not identical to the set of genes affected by a previously reported yTAF145 mutant (W.-C. Shen and M. R. Green, Cell 90:615-624, 1997). To identify sequences which rendered transcription yTAF145 dependent, we conducted deletion analysis of the TUB2 promoter using a novel mini-CLN2 hybrid gene reporter system. The results showed that the yTAF145 mutations we isolated impaired core promoter recognition but did not affect activation by any of the transcriptional activators we tested. These observations are consistent with the reported yTAF145 dependence of the CLN2 core promoter in the mutant isolated by Shen and Green, although the CLN2 core promoter functioned normally in the mutants we report here. These results suggest that different promoters require different yTAF145 functions for efficient transcription. Interestingly, insertion of a canonical TATA element into the TATA-less TUB2 promoter rescued impaired transcription in the yTAF145 mutants we studied. It therefore appears that strong binding of TBP to the core promoter can alleviate the requirement for at least one yTAF145 function.
